What's the most efficient way of locating someone based off knowing their location relative to someone else?

Asked by Questionsaboutstuff (265points) February 5th, 2014

Imagine you can see 2 people’s locations, person A you can see their distance away from you in kilometres, person B you can only see if he’s closer to you than A or further away

Moving to different locations can help us located person B, just as sat nav with 3 sources can track down our locations.

Is there a most efficient way of going about solving this problem to find person B in the least number of moved over a large number of random cases?
